Taka - Yes, McCain hired some incompetent people to run his campaign.

To me that makes me doubt his ability as a President. I disagree with Obama on many issues, but I recognize his great leadership qualities in that he chose clever people to run his campaign.

One of his…

I know this is a big statement and I will be accused of racism...but. I believe that most Japanese lack the ability to empathize. And that explains what happened in Akihabara.

I admire them, choose to live among them and they have so much that other people could learn from.…

Simon - Sorry about the spelling.

I still disagree that the Palin pick was ONLY to pander to social conservatives. If you remember back, after her first speech at the convention, many people were impressed. A young, female governor with an 80% approval rating is not absurd. There aren't a…

North London and Betting. You think I don't know that yakuza have been selling drugs? Or that people will always attempt to sell them because they make money? Well, I knew that.

1.Drug use among students and housewives is increasing.
2. This is in some part due to foreigners. 3.…

Most anti-Bush people say they support the war in Afghanistan but not the one in Iraq, but not many can articulate why.

It seems that we have the age old problem that everyone likes to say that everyone wants to say that the umpire is biased against them.

To Obama supporters, I would say that if you HONESTLY can't see that overall the mainstream media was biased towards Obama (based on that…

Caveman Lawyer. You make a lot of good points, but pointing out that one of the fathers objected isn't one of them. Seems that most fathers, family members and friends were happy with the result. Though, I agree that many of them may have also been happy with life-long torture.…

I first came to Japan before the bubble burst. Everyone had money back then. I always wondered what Japanese would be like without money. Now we are beginning to see.

Seeing elderly who steal, commit crimes and wander around as homeless is incredibly sad.

So a Scottish Thug trained them and evaluated them..? They "looked good"? With of without clothes? Maybe your positive evaluation went to this guys head!

Sarge, I hear ya.

See this is where I am middle of the road. I give him the benefit of the doubt. I know he called Nancy after that and apologized. So, I don't think he needs to be jumped on about that -there are more pressing things. BUT, obviously,…
